  • They’re all invested in each other, a threat to one is a threat to all and up until now the regime hasn’t threatened their investments.

    Seriously there’s a graph somewhere showing who’s invested in what and basically it’s all just one thing now. I don’t know why they maintain the charade of being separate companies.

    And the reason they don’t want their technology being used to kill people is because they don’t trust the administration to keep it to foreign countries in the middle East where no one cares what happens. They’ll use it in the United States and everyone will know who’s technology is powering their drones.

    All that’s happening is that financial self-interest and ethics both give the same answer in this scenario.











  • Anytime they do targets like this you always have to get like 98% or higher.

    Back when I used to work for Apple customer support they used to send out these email questionnaires after the call. You were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 but basically anything other than 8 was bad, and of course everyone always writes 7 or 8 because you’d prefer not to have to call a service desk at all.

    Fortunately they only cared about your average score not the total number of response. So if you got someone nice and they gave you a 9 or 10 you could basically just not send any more emails out for the rest of the month, and get your bonus. It was a stupid system.




  • My company is doing something similar with AI (although not quite this this awful) and I can tell you from various meetings that I’ve been in that management really doesn’t have a clue how AI works. I think it’s just a magic box.

    The current genius plan is to run all of this locally on a big server farm, I don’t think they have yet realised how expensive it’s going to be due to price spikes, ironically because of AI. I highly doubt that it will ever actually come to fruition, or will get some incredibly watered down thing that barely operates but management obsess over for 6 months, until they inevitably stop caring.

    I would place good money on a bet that says that 2 years from now they will not be using this.
